    hi ya mandz thanks hun. Poor you bella feeling emotional, I feel less so after sleeping for 3 hours! hormonalness in pregnancy is rubbish. I'm sitting herre relaxing watching a place in the sun but still feeling a bit grumpy and tired, could really do with a cup of tea but I cant be bothered to make it. Found a really lovely house close to where a lot of my family live, OH said no, came up with a rubbish excuse of the garden being east facing! **insert pouty lip stroppy face in here**

    hmmm am thinking about joining the gym, cant really afford it, but then I really need to get off my backside and start doing stuff, a friend from work goes to the gym too so i will still get to see her when i stop work for maternity leave and knowing that she is going should give me the motivation to go. And it will give me time to myself when baby is here as OH can look after it for an hour whilst I go for a work out and I can go to the one where my sister lives and go for a work out with her whilst my mother wld look after baby. Just seems a good way of losing the baby weight and keeping in touch with people.

    Glad you feeling better :) i'm feeling a little better too :)

    The gym sounds good, make sure you dont sign up for a 12 month contract just incase you dont like it :) i'm gonna start goin zumba with my friend when I've had baby she said its a right laugh and its meant to work so willing to give it a try, not that i've put alot of weight on i lost a stone when I found out I was pregnant i ws so so sick for the first 3 months it was horrendous! but saying that need to loose some weight anyways so thats the plan :)

    DS's bed should be here tomorrow so thats good :) and his carpet is being fitted tonight so will be able to move his toys into his new room then I dont have to climb over them on the landing :)

    ps men are just daft with there silly reasons i'm sure they're from another planet sometime lol

    lol bella im in no doubt my OH is from another planet! Well have phoned and booked a tour of the gym, I love the feeling it gives me, I used to love going to the gym! It is my bit of space! Glad you're feeling better. Oh I wish I'd lost weight, I had put on 10lbs at last look, am 23 weeks tomorrow so I guess that's average, just want to make sure it doesn't keep going up to a major extent!!! When baby is born was thinking I can even bike to the gym so I get double the work out, its not a bad cycle from what I can remember.

    I can't believe how much better I feel after some much needed sleep! Goes to show how bad sleep deprivation is, god knows what I'll be like when the baby gets here!

    oooh how lovely you are getting everything sorted too bella, I really need to sort out the middle room and upstairs come to think of it, there is baby stuff everywhere!

    ok, by the end of this week, idealy I would like to: have packaged and posted all sold ebay stuff, taken pictures of and listed the rest, that way at the weekend I can just have a major clean through, sort out the middle room and put all the baby stuff in it, so that when OH gets home he can just see the treasure trove of baby stuff that we have. Actually speaking of that I think I should make a baby stuff list!

    Baby stuff we still need to get:
    Changing mat
    sheets
    blankets
    moses basket stand
    breast pump
    bottles
    milk bag things
    muslins
    bath

    from te$co I need
    dummies
    more nappies
    maternity towels (yuk)
    sudacreme
    more breast pads
    milk bags
    steralising fluid

    Urgh don't miss those. Mind you the ones I had weren't too thick, some are like housebricks. Parsnip starts to shudder..........

    I'm fine thanks. Really enjoying being a mummy, it's the best thing I ever did. If I wasn't already 40............well one can dream.;)

    Not too long for you to wait now. It's very exciting. Enjoy the kicks:D

    ok going to a bit of a to do list, but a doable one, so:
    unload and reload dishwasher
    put a wash on
    package up 15 ebay parcels

    There thats not too daunting Im sure I can do that.
    Feel really bad about joining the gym and not saving that money, so I'm going to have a look at the up your income board, as I would only need to make £2 a day to save up the amount, I wonder if I could do that with surveys and scratch cards, hmmmm something I need to look into.

    TMI ALERT!! I would deffo get some thick proper maternity pads because believe me those first few days can be messy and then some thinner maybe night time normal pads for when bleeding slows down a bit :) bet you cant wait I describe it so beautifully lol!!!

    Well done in getting a bit done i'm trying to keep as straight as possible before I start majorly reorganising upstairs, need to buy a big chest of drawers for DS room, maybe some of those big tubs to keep toys in, bedding and curtains too. DS as very disappointed his bed didnt come town I promised him it will come tomorrow (god help me if it doesnt!!) he said we're gonna have to go kick some butt if they dont bring it haha

    Just been to get flowers from aldi going cemetery when OH gets home its 10 years since his dad died :( its a horrible day will be glad when its over and tomorrow is a new day :) xx
